Pyrometers for foundry applications

In the manufacture of liquid metal products, temperature is one of the most important physical factors influencing the reject rate, quality, strength and processing properties. If the melt is too hot, the refractory material wears out faster and energy consumption is increased. If temperatures are too low, the metal becomes viscous. This leads to problems during further processing or the material must be reheated.
The CellaCast system is an optical method for non-contact temperature measurement. It is a wear- and maintenance-free measuring system for temperature measurement on melting, holding hot, cupola and blast furnaces.
